    I know that feeling of fear, I do this one day at a time, I pray everyday to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, cause I know God is way more powerful than me, and if you're not a religious person or a spiritual person, but don't hold on to the fear, let it go, don't sit around and dwell in your own self pity. I don't say that to be mean, your statement reminded me when I got diagnosed June 26,2017. I was misdiagnosed the year before by my GI DR. and he cause me to have a delayed diagnosis, it's been a huge strain on my wonderful wife, like they say in Hawaii, HANG LOOSE and don't stop fighting. 

    Sincerely,

    Buddy
